Is that the barn over by the 1/4 pole.  I see there was a banner on it while watching the races but didnt know what it said.

I'd love to see a list of horses that were in that barn from the beginning. I don't know who/what Gene kept there, but it could be amazing. I haven't seen the details, but I think there was a barn by the house that had about 8 or 10 stalls. Last I heard was that Alan was selling the house and barn. Maybe they changed their minds.

Anyone have a link? Thanks.

Troublemaker raced vs Jate Lobell and Call For Rain--that year had a good crop

Troublemaker raced vs Jate Lobell and Call For Rain--that year had a good crop

Troublemaker did race against a very good crop of horses, more, and better horses in the second half of the season. Early on he tangled with Hobo's Willy, King Towner, Russ Lynn Scott, Andrel, etc. He also had to contend with a few others like Lustra's Big Guy, Colt Fortysix, Holmes Hanover, Guts, and On The Road Again. Jate Lobell and and Call For Rain were in a different (and also very strong) crop a few years later.

A lot of good horses mentioned there.  Some real tough, durable hard knockers.

Absolutely. A lot of people at first glance say Troublemaker's crop wasn't so strong. It may not have been very tough or very strong at the very top throughout the entire season, but I think there was a lot of depth there. There was always a lot of quality horses at the top throughout the year. I am also not saying it was a tougher or stronger crop than Jate's 3yo crop, LOL.

Troublemaker's 3yo year was also the first year of the Breeders Crown! So that was a bit of an X-factor, but a very good one. The 3yo colt pace was held at Northlands Park and there was some drama too, LOL. Billy O'Donnell was the regular driver for Guts-----he was second choice in the race-----and Billy O' shockingly decides to drive Troublemaker instead. Shock to many. I think Troublemaker was something like 8-1 ML. Anyway, I guess Billy O was right, LOL.

Trivia question...one of the horses in Troublemaker's crop was King Towner.

He won the Meadowlands Pace consolation...and also competed in that Breeders Crown.

Who owned him, trained him, and who drove him in those two races?

thanks for the correction

Call For Rain was very nice-a some of Storm Damage-driven and trained by Galbreath-tough horse could take air and keep coming

I can recall Jate Lobell tailing off in the 2nd half of his 3yo and I was betting against him and doing ok..but a lot of this is now a blur

Guts was just that--all Guts-many memorable battles where he won by inches-but he had an incredible nose for the wire and was determined to win

Lustras Big Guy was monstrous for 2-3 years at M1..I will never forget him 

some great names indeed not even mentioning On The Road Again
